Like I posted earlier, it doesn't seem like he was married when this occurred.

Accusations about Brian Wood himself that have not been confirmed aside, it's been verified by a ton of women (and men) that this sort of behavior does happen way too frequently in comics. It's not at all outside the realm of possibility.

I don't know if women are that oppressed in America anymore. Does it exist? Yeah sure. But I think the sexism here is more of a degrading nature than an oppression.

Is that seriously the argument that you want to go with? You don't want to just acknowledge that institutionalized sexism is vastly imbalanced against women in general, and that maybe there are some exceptions here and there?

I don't disagree with that at all. Doesn't give her carte Blanche though. If we said anything remotely close to "mansplain" directed towards her...
